If you want to know about station
area planning (SAP) and/or transit oriented development (TOD), please take a
look at the Portland case study and lessons learned, Seattle area programs and
projects, the TOD fable, smart growth jokes, and the TOD resource links. "TOD" has several meanings including transit
oriented design, development or district.
